Summary
At 46, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is the picture of perfection. He moves effortlessly through Baltimore’s high society, but among the wealthy, appearances are everything, and questions have begun to surface: Why has he never married? Why no children? Behind the veiled glances, judgment emerges—an unwelcome spotlight for a man with bodies in his basement.
When the FBI stumbles upon a crime scene in rural Maryland, they find a single survivor: a deeply traumatized four-year-old girl. The child is clearly not ordinary, something hides within her silence, something deeply concerning. She has seen things she shouldn’t have and lived when others had not, and when she lays eyes on Hannibal Lecter, she doesn’t flinch, she clings.
If society demands the performance of family, perhaps this little girl is the perfect solution. Perhaps, if she carries a darkness like his, she is something even more precious than that: a mirror.

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.
